| Absorbtion or Diffusion with dipolar speakers??? My experience with all types of Dipole's and Bipolar's in general, is that diffusion generally works best behind the speakers! The speakers were mostly designed for you to hear "the back wave" of the speaker's sound propegation, and absorbing usua... | |
| Diffusers- do it yourself Just to reafirm, you probably, yes, do want to stay with "diffusion" on a ceiling vs. "absorbtion" in most cases indeed! most people have carpet on the floor as well, which having absorbtion on the ceiling and floor would probably yield much too m... | |
| The Best System In The World In some ways I agree with some of the postings here, in that really it's all about balance in the end! I have also heard many many WAY OVER THE TOP $$$ systems. And like anything else, that still won't get you necessarily world class results! The ... | |
| Bass Management "Sogood51", I just called Yamaha in Southern California(close to me), and they said that you CANNOT LOOP FROM YOUR PRE-OUT'S BACK INTO THE 6.1/5.1 CHANNEL INPUTS!!!! I don't think you'll probably be able to do this with any other receiver also...b... | |
| Bass Management "Sogood51", can he do this? I didn't think you could. Funny, if that's the case, I guess it's workable then. I din't know you could do it that way, but I guess you are probably correct. Hummmm...that could work. I would like to ask Outlaw if this ... | |
| Simplification of HT & 2 Channel System This is funny! It appears no one wants to touch this. I mean you shouldn't really run those speakers with a receiver. Why not just sell it all and start over?! Otherwise, it's just not functional/practical it seems. | |
| What's you opinion? In response to Gmueller's comments, I find that THE VAST MAJORITY of people setting up sub/sat systems have THINGS WAY WAY OFF in terms of "IDEAL"! I do however find that you can get excellent, to phenominal results with the right gear, properly s... | |
| Diffusors vs. absorbers room treatment An easy rule of thumb for people people who don't know their way around acoustics well, is that "smaller rooms"(home audio applications) will likely do better with more diffusion, while larger rooms will require a bit more absorbtion to balance ou... | |
| What's you opinion? I assume you're talking "powered subs"?I think, from an audiophile point of view, that subwoofers tend to "generally" get a bad wrap as being "low-fi" often. Really, it's my experience that, as individual components, A VAST MAJORITY OF SUBS(all sh... | |
| Thiel 2.3 amplification IF you're looking for Solid state amps that will drive the Thiels well, and sound world class, may I highly suggest trying the old used Threshold T200's! For around $1400-1600 you could get that amp, which is 100watts 8 ohms and 200watts 4 ohms. I... | |
| Opinions of Near loudspeakers From my experiences, the Near's HAVE TO BE the worst line of speakers ever conceived by mankind!!!! Even with soft mellow tube gear and components(including wires), they still sounded bright, zippy, cold, and A-MUSICAL!!!! If anyone has other expe... | |
| Thiel Powerplane and Powerpoint Speakers IF it where me, in a difficult room, I'd forget the 5.1 and just to a high end 2 channel(mini monitor) set up with a digital pre/pro thrown in! Some nice high end monitors(2ea) with, say, a tube integrated(with a dd/dts pre/pro looped into an auxi... | |
| Bass Management (SoGood51)...With most receiver set up's there is no way to add the ICBM from OUtlaw to the system to all channels! Unless the receiver has "pre-out's" and "main-in's", you can't do this. If he was using pre-out's to another amplifier or something... | |
| Bass Management First, I'm currious as to "why you would want to run the powered mains as small and the rears as full range?" If anything, you should(assuming the mains are a full range speaker with powered woofers) run the mains as "large" and the rears(passive ... | |
| Acurus ACT3 vs. Others Well everyone's "cup of tea" is going to be different of course. But for me, sonics are everything when it comes to audio gear! I'll take audiophile grade purity and refinement over bells and whisles every time. And while the B&K ref 30 is no ... |
